So today I went in for my first ultrasound following a frozen embryo transfer. Doc said good and bad news. We got a heart beat of 120, and embryo was measuring fine. however the sac was measuring small. doc said they like to see it at 10mm and we are only at 8mm. he gave us 50/50 odds and said to be ...

Hi Ghost,

I'm in the middle of a frozen cycle. I'm on day 11 of estrace and was just bumped up to 2mg, 3x per day.

I had a saline sonogram 4 days ago and have been spotting since then. I felt concerned enough to go in to the clinic today to just get checked out. The doc (who is not my regular ...

I just breathed a sigh of relief for you!!! Amazing, amazing. Will continue to send positive thoughts your way!!!!


Yay!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thank you both! Thought I would be anxiety-free this time around...wishful thinking!!!

HI Ghost! Happy New Year!

So, I had a FET almost 3 years ago which gave me my beautiful daughter. So incredibly blessed. We are ready to try again. We have 4 embryos left. So this is a 2-part question.

1) Our doc didn't seem super happy the frozens we have left. Of the 4, he said one was pretty ...

My beautiful daughter is the result of much love and a FET!!!! Our first cycle was a bust with none left to freeze. Our second cycle was great...we transferred 3 and froze 8! I got my BFP but sadly miscarried at 7 weeks. I was one of those girls who thought, "how can this frozen cycle work when we ...

Yes, those are indeed some of the risks. Everything in life has a risk. And with risk comes reward. Can't think of a better reward than my beautiful baby...who by the way, I never call "test-tube"...just baby.

Thanks Ghost. I would really appreciate it if you could get any info. I haven't even spoken to my RE yet bc I'm just not ready to open up that door again. Just wondering where we stand.

Thanks mama! So, I guess at best the RE might not rec ICSI but would still rec IVF. I have to cyke myself up to ...

Hi! If ghost or anyone has some insight into this topic, I would love to hear it. My DH was diagnosed with low sperm morphology, motility, and low testosterone. We conceived our DD on our 3rd IVF cycle. He has since had a bilateral vericocelectomy and things have changed. I'm wondering if we should ...

Hi!!!

I conceived my DD at a clinic in NYC. I have to say, NYC can be a crazy place...everyone is so competitive and of course all of the IVF clinics are as well. If you ask most people here in the city, the most prestigious IVF clinic is Cornell. The docs there are well regarded and supposedly top ...

Ghost, you need to know just how much you are doing for all of the ladies on this board! You helped me so much when I was going through my IVF cycles (DD born 12/09)!!! Now that I am thinking about #2, I am back on the boards. I love reading your responses...you are always honest and compassionate ...

Age: 32 when I conceived
TTC: 2 years
Other treatments before IU1: IUI (4 rounds) 1 natural, 3 with clomid...all BFN
# of IVF cycles before for BFP: 2 fresh...#1, BFN, #2 M/C 7 weeks...1st FET BFP!!!!!!
How many transfered: fresh #1: 4 transferred (all poor quality), #2: 3 transferred (all beautiful ...

Even after my failed IUI cycles with Clomid my cycle was all off!!! After my first failed IVF, I got my first period normally. Then my next cycle was something like 48 days!!!! I was going nuts...I just wanted to start trying and all I could do was wait. Then I had a cycle that ended in miscarriage ...

My baby girl just turned 1! What a year it's been. I thought trying for number 2 would not be stressful at all being that we're so blessed with our daughter. But just the thought of the IVF process is giving me major anxiety. I know I don't want to wait too long though. It took us 3 tries of IVF to ...

I'm sorry to just chime in now. I've been following this post from the beginning. I can't tell you baby, how much i feel for you right now. I went through a very similar situation on my second round of IVF. We got our positive and we were thrilled...I think our first beta was 125...so, a nice strong ...
